Executives are concerned with the challenge of fostering innovation within their organizations. They say they want to empower employees but often end up creating systems that inhibit employee ingenuity. They say they want to create strong research and development functions but often end up creating research silos. They say they want to be adaptable and agile but often end up becoming slow and bureaucratic. So, how can we design organizations that enable both innovation and rapid scaling of … [Read more...]

Our clients have trusted us to undertake over 100 large scale projects across multiple geographies and industry sectors.

Congratulations! You've just introduced your new strategic plan. You might be a new executive looking to make a mark in the organization, or maybe you're a veteran looking to jumpstart lagging results – either way, strategic planning is often the first step in executing significant organizational change. But what if I told you that's not your issue? Organizations rarely, if ever, fail during the strategic planning process. Where they fail is in the execution. Admittedly, organizations are … [Read more...]
Fundamental to effective organization design is the alignment of positions, people, and tasks. Positions are aligned to a specific organizational level based on the complexity of work required, and people are matched to these positions based on their capability to work at that level. For example, a stratum 2 (or 2nd level) position requires diagnostic capability, and is often characterized as professional or first line management positions. A stratum 1 (or 1st level) position requires the … [Read more...]

One management trend that's caught my attention recently is the Holacracy management system. Holacracy, as defined on their website, is a "complete system for self-organization" that looks to create a replacement for organizing work. Much has been written on the subject, with viewpoints ranging from it's destroying companies (here, here and here) to it being a corporate saviour in a world where hierarchies are killing innovation and stemming employee motivation (here, here and here). A recent … [Read more...]
There's been a lot of discussion centred on how organizations can engage a new generation of workers through developing and articulating a corporate 'Purpose'. Because of this, we thought it'd be a good idea to bring back an article Ron wrote in the People & Strategy journal which discusses how organizations can be designed to enable purpose.
2015 was a difficult year for Canadians – with the price of oil plummeting organizations were forced to significantly downsize their workforce. All told it was estimated that over 100,000 jobs were lost across the Alberta oil fields. On top of this, some of Canada's largest companies (Bombardier, TD, Scotiabank) undertook major organizational restructuring initiatives. The terms downsizing or restructuring generally refer to organizations reducing their operating costs through … [Read more...]

Earlier this month, when SaSa announced the reopening of their outlet in Mid Valley, practically every lady went 'ga-ga' over it! The press ad in the papers and online were shouting unbelievable promotions for brands such as Suisse Programme, b.liv, Cyber Colours and many more for as low as RM1! The best promotion ever was the gimmicky SaSa 'Mask Run' event happening on 2nd & 3rd July. The mechanic is easy, all you need to do is buy a box worth RM50 (about 30xm x 30cm), fill as many mask as possible and make sure the box can be closed.
I was one of those who joined the SaSa 'Mask Run' event on 2nd July and was I there early to meet up with my buddies to discuss 'how to stuff as many mask as possible' 😛
We look serene right up till the moment, the emcee announce the event was going to start and he brief us 'how to go about it'. SaSa has set up a counter with 3 big tubes full of mask and only 2 participants are allowed to enter each time. We're only given 30 seconds to grab as much as we could and put it in the box and make sure it can be seal!
Take a look at us grabbing the mask and putting it as nicely as possible into the box 😀
It wasn't easy mind you, kinda nerve wrecking with adrenaline pumping into our system to go fast. We just blindly grab whatever mask we could and squeeze in into the box.
After ending my mad dash, we headed over the counter to count our loots and OMG, I can't believe it. I managed to grab 55 pieces of mask worth RM490++ !!
Claudine was the best as she walked away with masks worth RM600++ . We had so much fun during the event that day.
At home, I unboxed and checkout my mask loot (psst…after arranging it properly in the box, I can actually fit in more than 55 pcs 😛 )
Thanks to SaSa for organizing such a fun event, hopefully they will make this an annual event and I'll definitely purchase more boxes next round. Follow SaSa Malaysia on their Facebook Page for more events and promotions update.

HINSDALE — I stayed home to watch the President address the United Nations on its 40th anniversary, and almost lost my meal. After giving lip service to UN history and ideals, Mr. Reagan scolded the Soviets for regional interventions while defending parallel U.S. actions as support for freedom fighters. We can`t have it both ways.
Also, has he read the papers lately regarding events in South Africa? It appears not. All in all it was a very imperial, arrogant speech in which the United States was singled out as the light of the world for all nations. I was ashamed that my President should so disrespect the sister-brotherhood of nations.

Mark's Weekly Review – Relyon Memory Pocket Comfort 1050 Mattressby Mark
Now were into our 4th Month here in our new showroom in Burgess Hill I have noticed certain items being more popular than others. We sell a vast variety of beds and mattresses but one thing that has been consistent is our Relyon roll up mattresses.
Now this could be for number reasons. Is it the price? Is it because they are available on a next day delivery to your home 'If ordered before 11a.m.' Is it because they are just plain comfortable? Either way we want to find out so this week I am reviewing the Relyon Memory Pocket Comfort 1050 mattress.
Firstly I want to look at the way they are delivered. This mattress comes rolled up and compressed looking like a huge sleeping bag or something. Why you might ask? Well vacuum packing makes them fantastic for transport taking minimal space and making it a takeaway item from our showroom. And it doesn't do any damage to the interior components so really, why not?
All you need to do with a vacuum packed mattress is unwrap and air them. We normally recommend 2-3 hours but try to leave it as long as possible for the best possible support and comfort. And remember they can be stored wrapped, but they should be opened within 6 months of purchase.
I'm testing is a 3ft single mattress although they are available from 2ft 6" (small single) all the way up to 6ft (super kingsize). The first thing I notice is this super soft 'Coolmax' cover. It has a feeling of airiness to it allowing ventilation to reduce overheating. Another benefit is the cover can be removed for cleaning and is machine washable.
Surprisingly this mattress is very comfortable and supportive. I know I sound surprised and to be honest I was. When you think of a rolled up mattress you wonder how good it can be. But when you have a 3ft mattress with 590 pocketed springs encapsulated within the foam and a 35mm layer of memory foam on top you shouldn't be surprised.
After 30 minutes or so I can honestly say that if I didn't know it was a roll up then I would have presumed this was any other ordinary mattress. The support is great and the fact that the memory foam is only 35mm didn't make me feel like I was being absorbed by it. It was more just a gentle moulding allowing me to still move freely and enjoy the support of the encased springs.
This mattress has so many merits it's hard to believe they start at only £189.00 with free next day delivery. Another great positive for this mattress is if you have a narrow staircase or tight angles to get to the bedroom, bending a mattress can damage internal springs and rod edges, compromising not only support and comfort but your guarantee. This mattress, even a King size, only comes in with dimensions of 35cm diameter X 155cm length making problematical access into your bedroom a thing of the past, without compromising on quality.
My final analysis for the Relyon Memory Pocket Comfort 1050;
This mattress allows for easy transport, whether that is from our showroom straight into the boot of your car or into a bedroom with limited access. Nothing is spared, pocketed springs with 35mm of memory foam and machine washable covers makes for a reliable good quality mattress. And with a 5 year guarantee, what more can you ask for?

The right strategy, well executed, is the key to Senex's future growth.
Below is a summary of Senex's strategic priorities and key business activities for the near term.
Globally, the medium and longer term market fundamentals for oil remain robust. Supply continues to flex while investment into
new discoveries has declined and low cost sources of oil production declines. In contrast, global demand remains strong, enhanced by increasing demand from developing economies.
In the nearer term, the oil pricing outlook remains volatile in line with the sharp and prolonged period of market correction since 2015. Senex remains a low cost upstream operator with quality oil acreage in the Cooper Basin. Our lean operating capability, existing infrastructure and pathways to market, as well as strong relationships across the value chain, support Senex's position as a leading oil producer in the region.
In the near term, our strategic focus centres on stabilising production, maintaining low costs and generating cash from the base portfolio. We will prioritise capital investment into high value opportunities on the western flank of the Cooper Basin, which offer high returns at low oil prices and can be brought online quickly to generate income.
The near- and longer-term demand for affordable and reliable energy is unprecedented in modern Australia's history. On the east coast, gas supply has continued to tighten, largely driven by domestic energy consumption and export demand from Queensland's LNG producers.
As reaffirmed by the nation's Chief Scientist Dr Alan Finkel during 2017, natural gas will play an important role in the energy mix particularly as the world transitions to a low-carbon future.
Senex is continuing to leverage its strategic position as an agile, independent operator to bring new gas supply into the market. Our focus remains on building our position as a low cost coal seam gas producer in Queensland, along with new conventional and unconventional gas opportunities in the Cooper Basin. The Western Surat Gas Project represents a material, near-term revenue stream in a supportive regulatory and operating environment. Similarly, South Australia's gas producing regions of the Cooper Basin offer material reserves potential and existing pathways to market.
Our capabilities in gas exploration, development and production are highly transferable. Senex will apply these capabilities to future organic and inorganic opportunities to bring more gas supply to the east coast.
New Markets and New Ventures
Senex continues to evaluate its position in the upstream value chain, addressing opportunities to position the business for future supply and demand changes in Australia's energy markets. This includes inorganic and organic opportunities where these align with strategy, operating capability and financial capacity. We are actively establishing financial facilities to support these growth activities.

Besides digestion, your gut is the hub of both your metabolism and your immune system. And within your gut are microbes. A healthy inner ecosystem is one that is full of helpful microbes that keep the disease-causing bugs in check.
Artificial sweeteners can destroy good bacteria in the gut, while Organic Stevia can support a healthy inner ecology. Even better, naturally sweet Stevia has zero calories, zero carbohydrates, and zero glycemic index.
For example, an overgrowth of bad microbes has been linked to:
It turns out that what you eat drives certain microbes to dominate over others. And while you might use artificial sweeteners to control weight and curb sugar cravings, the unimaginable has happened: By using artificial sweeteners, chances are good that you have also become more intolerant to sugar.
New research shows that artificial sweeteners boost sugar intolerance, which is a marker of diabetes.2 That's not all these sweeteners boost. Along with poor blood sugar control, you might also see an increase in gut microbes that are linked to obesity and metabolic disease.
If you're wondering, artificial sweeteners include:
In order to figure out what came first — the poor blood sugar control or the bad bugs — researchers inoculated mice with either "normal" microbes or the microbes from mice fed artificial sweeteners. They found that microbes from mice eating artificial sweeteners were directly causing poor blood sugar control. In humans, the results were similar. Healthy folks who do not usually take artificial sweeteners were given saccharin for one week. After only one week, most of the volunteers had a poor blood sugar response and saw a shift in their inner ecosystem.
Other research has found that dysbiosis — or a wounded inner ecosystem — is linked to low-grade inflammation, which predictably shows up in both insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.3
Many of us use those little pink and blue packets of artificial sweet stuff without a second thought. After you've gotten rid of these fake sweeteners and made the switch over to Stevia, you might be looking for other ways to manage blood sugar and encourage good bacteria to grow. Try this:
Balanced health starts in your gut, which is why it can be so devastating to the body when gut health is compromised. A healthy gut is full of beneficial microbes that curb disease-causing bacterial growth. Artificial sweeteners like aspartame, saccharin, and sucralose have a direct effect on gut health for the worse — new research indicates that artificial sweeteners can boost sugar intolerance as a marker of diabetes and may increase gut microbes linked to obesity and metabolic disease. Naturally sweet and Organic Stevia is a gut-friendly alternative to both artificial sweeteners and refined sugar.
Even if you have used artificial sweeteners for months or years, there is still hope to rebuild a healthy gut:

As if CAS isn't challenge enough for me, this week's Challenge Host, Kath, threw another curveball into the mix - Masculine theme!
With Father's Day just around the corner, this is perfect timing for this Challenge. I had received my pre-order of brand new items from the soon-to-be-released 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue. Two of the colours from the newest set of In-Colors were perfect to use for this - Dapper Denim and Emerald Envy.
On a piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the 'Happy' from the Tin of Cards stamp set in Dapper Denim in a column. I inked the stamp once and stamped multiple times before re-inking.
The cute banner image and 'Father's Day' is from the brand new stamp set Thoughtful Banners, which comes in a bundle with a coordinating punch.
I used one of the hats from the hat stamp in the Guy Greetings stamp set, stamped in Archival Basic Black ink and fussy cut. To give it a bit of shine, I coated it with glue from the Fine Tip Glue Pen.
Mount the banner onto a strip of Dapper Denim, pop-up the hat with a dimensional, mat with Dapper Denim and mount the whole thing onto an Emerald Envy card base. And you're done!
Quick and easy! It's also quick and easy for you to visit the Watercooler Wednesday blog to see what all the other Watercooler Artists have done with this challenge. Then, create your own CAS Masculine themed card and link it to our Challenge.

Free 2nd Day Shipping on All Orders
Serves 4
Fresh spring flavors are amplified with a refined, tangy beurre rouge sauce for a deliciously balanced dish that comes together easily. Make the sauce ahead of time for added convenience and warm before serving.
About an hour ahead of cooking time, season the steaks with salt and pepper rest at room temperature.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread oiled potatoes onto a baking sheet. Roast for around 30 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, add oil to a cast iron pan and turn the heat to medium-high. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, lay the bavette in the pan. Sear undisturbed for 3 to 7 minutes, then flip to sear the other side.
Cook to an internal temperature of about 128°F. (Remember that Piedmontese beef cooks faster than traditional beef; be especially careful when cooking bavette, which is a thin cut that can overcook quickly.)
Transfer the bavette to a wooden board to rest for 10 minutes (the internal temperature of the cut will continue to rise as the meat rests). To serve, slice the bavette across the grain into strips.
Toss the potatoes with the chives just before serving. Serve the bavette with the new potatoes, Beurre Rouge Sauce (recipe follows), and blanched asparagus.
In a heavy saucepan, combine the shallot, tarragon, bay leaf, wine, vinegar, and pepper. Over medium heat, reduce the mixture until about 1 tablespoon of liquid is left in the pan. Remove the bay leaf.
Over very low heat, whisk the butter into the red wine mixture, two pieces at a time, whisking constantly until all the butter is absorbed and the sauce is creamy. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Pairing: 2015 Neyers Sage Canyon Red; use it in the sauce, and serve remaining wine with the meal.

Rapper Daz Dillinger is facing a legal battle over his planned Tha Dogg Pound biopic amid a dispute over publishing rights.
The hip-hop star has assembled a cast and crew to tell the story of Death Row Records' Tha Dogg Pound collective, which included his cousin Snoop Dogg, Warren G and the late Nate Dogg, and filming began on the movie last month (Sep15).
However, Dillinger reveals the project, titled Dogg Pound 4 Life, has since suffered a major setback as he fights record label bosses over the music rights.
He tells TMZ.com, "We got a cast and we have the full project in motion it's just that right now I'm fighting a war with eOne and Sony BMG."
Dillinger maintains he owns his own publishing, even though Death Row's back catalog was sold to executives at eOne in 2013.
Dogg Pound 4 Life is slated to star Azad Arnaud as Dillinger, Melvin Jackson, Jr. as his bandmate Kurupt, an actor known as DaDa as Tupac Shakur, and Curtis Young as his father, Dr. Dre. Another unknown, Reggie Noble, has been cast as Death Row Records founder Marion 'Suge' Knight.
Dillinger announced plans for the film over the summer (15) following the box office success of Straight Outta Compton, which chronicles the rise and fall of Dre and Ice Cube's pioneering hip-hop group N.W.A.

The election of Cardinal Jorge Maria Bergoglio as the new pope on Wednesday sparked immediate — and quite serious — analysis about the future of the Roman Catholic Church, and about what it would mean for the church's profile in the Americas. But in other corners of the Internet, there were also some less serious discussions, too.
Like whether whether the new pope, who took the name Francis, would be able to use his new higher profile to overtake Lionel Messi and become to the second-most popular Argentine on earth.
Or whether Pope Francis was a bigger soccer fan than his predecessor, Benedict XVI, a noted Bayern Munich supporter. Or whether the Vatican would suddenly shift its support to South America, to the Buenos Aires club San Lorenzo, which quickly claimed Francis as one of their own.
Pope definitely a San Lorenzo fan. Here's his membership card. (via @repubblicait) twitter.com/Paolo_Bandini/…
— Paolo Bandini (@Paolo_Bandini) March 13, 2013
The Associated Press reported Thursday:
Bergoglio grew up in Buenos Aires' Flores neighborhood, not far from the San Lorenzo stadium, and like his father, he formed a bond with the team. That continued as he rose up the Roman Catholic hierarchy to become archbishop of Argentina's capital.
He's even a member of the association that owns the club, and was presented with a team jersey after saying Mass in the team chapel — it's the kind of club that has a chapel — in May 2011. San Lorenzo is known to fans as the Cyclone, the Saints or the Crows, the latter an allusion to the black vestments worn by its founder.
News that Bergoglio had been elected pope elated the team.
"It's a pride for the institution to know that the first South American pope is a member of San Lorenzo," the club said in a news release.
"In truth, I can't believe it. My veins are running with a sensation very hard to describe, but very beautiful at the same time," said midfielder Angel Correa in comments published by the team website.
A more intriguing side note is whether Pope Francis's election would mean a revival of Vatican City's dormant national team. The team, a collection of Vatican guards and staff members, is one of only a handful of independent states that are not FIFA members, a group that includes the likes of Monaco and Palau. It has played only a handful of games in its short history, including only two full internationals — both against Monaco — and friendlies against the likes of San Marino and Palestine.
It lost that Palestine game, 9-1, in 2010, which gives one a sense that the team's priorities lie — understandably — elsewhere.
But you would have to like the Vatican's chances if it ever got in a penalty shootout.

Kristen Stewart, Stella Maxwell Marriage Talk Made Up By Tabloid
Kristen Stewart and Stella Maxwell are not already "talking marriage," despite a made-up story in one of this week's new tabloids. Gossip Cop can exclusively set the record straight.
The actress and model have been dating for less than five months, but according to OK!, the two are already planning to wed. A so-called "source" tells the magazine that the couple has been discussing having "an intimate outdoor ceremony in Southern California." The outlet's questionable insider adds, "They started making vision boards and talking over outfits, but they're in no rush. They're taking their time and enjoying planning something special."
It should be noted, OK! repeatedly claimed Stewart was getting married to Alicia Cargile back when she was dating the visual effects producer last year. The magazine also purported to have details about Stewart and Cargile's supposed wedding plans. Obviously, the ex-couple never tied the knot, so Gossip Cop was dubious about the publication's latest claim.
Our doubts were confirmed after checking with a reliable source close to the situation, who exclusively assures us the actress and her girlfriend aren't already discussing marriage or planning a wedding. Not only does OK! know very little about Stewart's personal life, but the tabloid can't seem to keep its stories straight. Gossip Cop previously busted the outlet for alleging Stewart and Maxwell had a "toxic relationship" built on partying and jealousy. The magazine's latest angle on the couple is equally unfounded.

You should now have a good grasp of what to look for when adjusting the weighting on your characters, so I will leave the Grae model more or less up to you. If you are working with the blend-shapes version of Grae, you will first need to prepare and bind the geometry to the base skeleton. Start with Grae_FaceBind_BS.mb, bind the body mesh to the skeleton and the face to just the head joint, and save the file as Grae_Bound_BS.mb.
Before you begin to work on Grae's weights, you need to alter the designation of which joints actually affect the mesh. In an earlier chapter, we added four extra joints to the wings so we could control Grae's fingers, enabling us to open and close them. We don't need these joints bound to the mesh, however.

World Cup and EvE-Betting
As most of you know, the World cup started last week. Those of you who have no idea what it is and are blissfully unaware because their country doesn't really participate in the whole soccer thing: Good for you! I live in a country that was able to qualify itself, which is a good thing
Plans are made to go down the drain
You win some, you lose some. And the past week I lost a bit. I had hoped to cash in on Prospects, to make a bunch and have a nice amount of profit. Unfortunately, this hope was linked to the fact that people would keep the price high for at least a few days. Back
Prospecting and going out of my way to get killed
Today marks the launch of a new release for EvE. New things happening, industry wise and others that I don't really know much about. Why's that? Because I only cared about one thing, a new thing to invent. Namely the prospect. In a few hours when the patch goes live we will be able to

Microscopy Core
Faculty Director: Matthew Krummel, Ph.D.
The objective of the SABRE Microscopy Core is to advance light-based imaging of the lung and associated tissues. Our core operates under the presumption that critical understanding of diseased tissues and organs will come with the study of the activities of component players (cell types, effector molecules) in their native environment. The SABRE microscopy core is currently the major single supporter for a larger campus-wide imaging initiative termed the Biological Imaging Development Center (BIDC) which seeks to specifically address deficiencies in imaging technologies as applied to multiple biological problems. Given the local expertise in studies of host-immune interactions, a great deal of emphasis is also being placed upon supporting these applications. As such, the efforts of this center are being directed toward improved imaging technologies for immune interactions; particularly within the lung.
Website: Biological Imaging Development Center
Mouse Physiology and Morphology Core
Director: Xiaozhu Huang, M.D.
The mouse physiology and morphology core provides a centralized laboratory for high-quality quantitative analysis of physiologic and morphologic studies in models of allergic asthma. In addition, the core provides training to students, technicians and post-doctoral fellows in techniques relevant to the models and their analysis.
The mouse airway physiology and microscopy core is a SABRE-funded research facility that provides service to investigators who are interested in studying the molecular mechanisms of asthma.

"Our core mission focuses on being the bridge from NYC to the Manila start-up community by providing the tools and resources needed to build successful businesses"
New York City, NY - (PRWEB) September 22, 2016
Today, Fullwave, a Philippines based start-up focusing on novel initiatives towards cultivating entrepreneurial action, formally announced their Fullwave Tech & Startups Expo at the Mapúa Institute of Technology. After working in Manila's local tech community, the team became aware of the necessity of reinvigorating the local start-up community by providing aspiring entrepreneurs an unprecedented networking and developmental experience that strays from the standard convention. They surmised that the most effective way of addressing this deficiency was by throwing a celebration of everything tech, development, start-up, and entrepreneur related within the heart and soul of the Philippines tech epicenter.
Fullwave's initial foray into the Filipino Start-Up Community is a combination of a New Yorker's "work hard, play hard" attitude towards business, and the youthful abundance and resolution that comes from a talented aggregate of young millennials ready to engage international audiences. Following the successes of Jonathon Francis, Co-Founder of Elite Daily, the second most popular millennial website in the US that was acquired in 2015, and Ace Velarde, the founder of the STW Family of Companies, both agreed that the Philippines had something unique and compelling that resonated with their personal beliefs.
Further expanding Ace Velarde noted, "our strategy is connecting investors, developers, founders, and culture in a way that will allow us to not only fuel the start-up community, but to also give hands-on operational support to bring start-ups to success"
Fullwave's event at Mapúa will center on following these core tenets that should resound within aspiring entrepreneurs worldwide:
Anyone, regardless of social standing, can make start-up culture successful:
- To liberate from traditional structures
- To find opportunity wherever it may present itself
- Pride and conviction in achieving your own path
The event to be held at Mapúa Institute of Technology in Manila, Philippines on October 14-15th will host some of Southeast Asia's most prominent VC's, investors, entrepreneurs, start-ups, and developers. For more information visit http://www.fullwave.ph
About FullWave
Fullwave enables entrepreneurs to take their company from ideation to acquisition. Our core mission focuses providing an international bridge to Manila in providing relevant tools and resources in building successful startups.
Fullwave works directly with venture capitalists, policymakers, academic officials, entrepreneurs, and corporations to advance the start-up community in the Philippines. With a focus in platform solutions, IoT, and digital media we offer a diverse skillset to allow us to support all facets of start-ups.
We aim to provide mentorship, operational guidance, investment opportunities, technical and operational training, and marketing support to emerging entrepreneurs and start-ups across the Philippines. Fullwave supports the start-up community to further fuel the challenge of making Manila a start-up capital of SouthEast Asia.

Would you volunteer to taste chocolate cakes? Who says no to chocolate? Even though I'm in the middle of a house move and working long hours,I'll manage to find time to judge chocolate cakes this week at the Thurston County Fair. Cake baking contestants can expect a critical assessment of the chocolate flavor in their cakes. Flavor Scientist knows taste is important and I'll stick to the motto of "it's gotta taste good". Chocolate can be made from roasted cocoa beans, milk solids, sugar and vanilla. When formulating a chocolate flavor, I blend flavor "keys": vanilla, milk and cocoa flavors.

Featured Project
Green Infrastructure at the new Summerfest Administration Building
City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. (MWF) owns, operates and produces "Summerfest", The World's Largest Music Festival®, which is an 11 day summer music festival. Stormwater Solutions Engineering, LLC worked MWF/Summerfest to apply for and receive grant funding and design green infrastructure for the new Administration Building along the shore of Lake Michigan in Milwaukee, WI.
The project site was a former brownfield, comprised of various landfill materials, including foundry sands. Located on the site was an existing maintenance building that Milwaukee World Festival converted to serve as the new Summerfest Administration Building for its full time staff of over 40 employees. Given the site conditions and the proximity to Lake Michigan, stormwater goals for the site include reducing stormwater runoff to the combined sewer, while preventing stormwater from infiltrating into the contaminated soils.
Learn about MMSD's other green initiativesOur Solution
Stormwater Solutions Engineering, LLC (SSE) assisted Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. to apply and receive grant funding from Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) and the Fund for Lake Michigan, to manage the site stormwater runoff through the use of green infrastructure. A 3,650 square foot bioswale, east of the new office building, was designed to treat and store water from the existing building roof. The existing roof drains were disconnected from the combined sewer and diverted to the bioswale. A bioswale (see detail) is essentially a rain garden with an engineered mix of soil, a perforated under drain, a stone storage area and an overflow pipe for saturated or frozen ground conditions. We refer to them as a friendlier term "biogarden". From the surface, they appear to be a landscaped depression with Wisconsin native water-loving plants, which are also tolerant of dry conditions in summer months.
In addition to the bioswale, 2,000 square-feet of porous pavement was designed to collect runoff from the parking lot. Porous pavement is also referred to as permeable pavement, because it allows the movement or infiltration of stormwater through the surface. The stormwater is treated as it moves through the pavement and an aggregate storage layer is located beneath the pavement, with an underdrain allowing slow release of filtered water. Porous pavement not only reduces stormwater runoff, but also filters out pollutants and traps suspended solids. The sidewalk at the front of the building contains sections of porous pavement to allow runoff from the walkway to be treated, but also serves as public education on stormwater management. Both the porous pavement and bioswales are lined to prevent infiltration and leaching of pollutants from the contaminated soils
SSE also teamed with new Eden Landscape Architecture to design a green roof for a small addition to the existing building. Vegetated soil packets and planters have been installed into an inviting space, allowing slowing and holding the roof runoff during rain events, while also providing a social environment for Summerfest staff and guests. In addition to stormwater benefits, the green roof also moderates the temperature of the roof, keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Stormwater trees and native landscaping was incorporated throughout the site. Green infrastructure on this site captures and treats 44,990 gallons of stormwater before discharging to the storm sewer and ultimately, Lake Michigan.
This site serves as a high profile demonstration of green infrastructure in a highly urban environment. The Henry W. Maier Festival Park is home to Summerfest and hots a variety of ethnic and cultural festivals, walks, runs, concerts and other events each year. This project was named MMSD's Green Infrastructure Signature Project for 2014 and the recipient of the MMSD Green Luminary Award in September, 2015.

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE FWC met on a rare sunny morning at Betty Alcocks home, a lovely old stone house in the delightful village of Brixworth.
Here they were treated to a glass painting demonstration by Mandy Dawkins and the result of her labours were on display when I arrived – a beautiful array of decorated glassware.
About 30 members walked to the local hostelry for lunch. Inevitably the conversation revolved around farming, living in the country and how everyone was coping. It was the morning that Mr Blair had announced that farmers must diversify as if it was a new thought of his. These people have been diversifying for years and by nature have learned to adjust to whatever has been thrown at them. Diversification is all very well so long as your next door neighbour is not also following the same course – many farmers wives have told me that their bed and breakfast trade isnt nearly so busy now that so many are doing it.
Back to more lighter-hearted discussion, someone asked me if they joined one FWC group could they cross over to the next county for meetings – the answer is yes, once you have paid your subscription you can visit as many clubs as you like. Which leads me on to subscriptions, they were due on Jan 1 so if you are reading this and have overlooked payment, please send your £10 to me today.
Before leaving Brixworth I walked up past the village stocks to see the beautiful Saxon Church of All Saints and lo and behold there was the villages millennium garden opposite – an absolute haven of peace. It got me thinking there must have been many millennium projects throughout the land so write and tell us about your local efforts. I have been to the Millennium Dome at Greenwich – it wont take much to surpass that.

A household
inventory provides a detailed record of all your possessions. Its purpose is to expedite the claims process
in the event of loss, theft, or damage – all of which are possible during a
While it takes time to put together an inventory, the security it provides cannot be underestimated. Here are some of the benefits you'll receive from producing a household inventory:
Your household inventory can be as simple or as detailed as you like, but it should include the following information:
It's also a good idea to include a description of each item when appropriate. In the case of electronics, this might include special features. In the case of antiques include the date of the piece as part of the description. You can also use the description column to identify family heirlooms as well as one-of-a-kind or custom made pieces.
Another good policy is to keep receipts for all major purchases and for any items that include a warranty. Include a column on your inventory to indicate whether or not you have a receipt for the item.
If you do not have a receipt for an important item, bank/credit card statements can be used in some cases. In addition, you can look at your order history to determine the cost of an item and the date of purchase for items purchased online.
Any other pertinent transaction documents should be included with your inventory as well. These might include certificates of authenticity, appraisals, and so forth.
All purchase documentation should be scanned in order to retain an electronic copy of the information.
For important
purchases and items under warranty, I recommend scanning the receipt to make an
electronic copy and then stapling the original to the warranty or instruction
manual. It just makes sense to file the
receipt with the warranty since both will be needed in the event of a
Receipts can then be filed in large plastic envelopes with snap button closures according to type (kitchen appliances, sports equipment, power tools, etc.). You could also use accordion-style envelopes to file your manuals/receipts.
A household inventory could consist of a simple visual record of your possessions. You can make a visual record using photographs or video. A visual record is useful for establishing proof of ownership. It also provides evidence of the condition and appearance of items. It is a good place to start, but it is not recommended as the only record of your belongings.
For added security, you will want to maintain a written record as well. You can do this by designing your own spreadsheet, or you can utilize one of the many apps designed for this purpose.
For an overview of some of the apps available for documenting your belongings, read 6 free home-inventory apps that will help cover your assets by Jake Widman of TechHive.
Once you've determined the method for recording all your information, you're ready to get to work. Tackle one room at a time until you are done. Be sure to capture every area of your home including your basement, attic, garage, and any outdoor structures (shed, shop, carriage house).
Record all items of value to include:
Capture a wide
angle view of each room to demonstrate the magnitude of the loss in the event
of a disaster. Then zoom in on specific
areas of the room and individual items.
For instance, in the case of a book collection, you will not want to take separate images of each book. A view of the bookcase lined with books is sufficient. However, if you have a particularly valuable book, such as a first edition of a classic, you may want to photograph it separately.
We don't typically think of individual books, movies, or games as 'big ticket' items, but if you have a large collection of any or all of these things, they represent a hefty investment on your part. I recommend preparing
a separate inventory for these items. It
can be done simply using a spreadsheet with separate tabs for each
Maintaining an inventory insures you will receive adequate compensation should anything happen to your collection. In the case of a move, it makes it possible to determine which books/movies/CDs are missing should one or more boxes disappear.
Your book inventory should include title, author, publisher, genre, and type of binding (hardback, paperback, library binding). For a free printable book inventory form click here.
A movie inventory could be a simple list of titles. However, you may also wish to include genre, director, producer, starring actors, the year a movie was released or any other information that interests you. For a free printable movie inventory form click here.
If you still maintain a large collection of music CD's, you may want to create a music inventory. Recommended information for such an inventory would include album title, artist, and genre.
In addition to title, video game inventories could include rating and game system such as Wii, PlayStation, or Xbox (particularly if you have more than one system).
We have a large collection of lectures on disc from The Great Courses® for which we keep an inventory; it's just a separate tab in the library inventory (which we have created in Microsoft® Excel). We also have a tab for board games.
As with any inventory, it is only useful if it is accurate. Be sure to update your inventory whenever you make a purchase or get rid of an item. We got lax about this and it was a huge chore to update it.
Larger items such
as furniture, appliances, and electronics should be photographed
separately. Zoom in on brand names,
model numbers, and (if possible) serial numbers. In addition, high value items such as jewelry
or collectibles should be individually photographed.
If videotaping your possessions, be sure to include an audio commentary as you progress from room to room. Zoom in on high value items and provide any pertinent information in your commentary.
Make sure all photos and video are dated.
Storage and Maintenance
Once your household inventory is complete, you will want to make a copy of everything associated with it. This includes photos, video, receipts, and appraisals, in addition to the inventory itself.
Store one copy of your inventory in a safe location, preferably outside your home since its main purpose is to serve as a record of your belongings in the event of a disaster. The safest option is to keep a copy in a bank safe deposit box, or online safe deposit box.
Another option is to make a copy to keep at the home of a close friend or relative.
You will need to
update your household inventory every six months or so. Remove any items you no longer possess and
add new items. Major purchases should be
added as soon as possible.
When you move, you should hand carry your household inventory as proof of value should you need to file a claim for a lost or damaged item.
Add up the estimated
values of all the items on your inventory.
Use this figure to determine whether or not your homeowner's insurance
accurately reflects your needs and adjust your policy accordingly.
Put together a household inventory and enjoy peace of mind knowing you will be adequately compensated in the event of loss, theft, or damage.

P802.1Qcj – Automatic Attachment to Provider Backbone Bridging (PBB) services
The full title of this PAR is "Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks-Media Access Control (MAC) Bridges and Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks Amendment: Automatic Attachment to Provider Backbone Bridging (PBB) services".
This standard specifies the protocols, procedures and management objects for auto-attachment of network devices to Provider Backbone service instances by using Type, Length, Value (TLVs) within the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
This amendment simplifies the deployment and administration of PBB networks, e.g. controlled by Shortest Path Bridging (SPB), by allowing for automatic configuration of the virtual LANs and service identifiers, thus allowing access to services of network devices without the need of manual configuration.

Success in a Canine Lab Study Moves a Gene Therapy for X-linked RP Closer to a Clinical Trial
A Foundation-funded research team based at the Universities of Pennsylvania and Florida recently used gene therapy to prevent and reverse vision loss in two canine models of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP). The results bode well for the team's eventually gaining approval for a human study of the treatment approach.
Drs. William Beltran and Gus Aguirre, study investigators at the University of Pennsylvania, say they are very pleased with the treatment's ability to restore cells in the degenerating retinas to a normal state. The visual function in both canines, they add, improved dramatically.
Demonstrating safety and effectiveness in the XLRP large animal model are crucial to gaining FDA approval to launch a clinical trial. "Canine studies performed by Dr. Aguirre at the University of Pennsylvania were a pivotal step in getting the FDA to OK the gene therapy studies for Leber congenital amaurosis," Dr. Stephen Rose, the Foundation's chief research officer, says, referring to LCA trials underway at the Universities Pennsylvania and Florida. "And he and Dr. Beltran are now positioning the field well to move XLRP gene therapy into the clinic."
The XLRP treatment involves delivery of healthy copies of the RPGR gene to rods and cones, the cells that provide vision in the retina. Because 75 percent of all cases of XLRP are caused by defects in RPGR, the gene therapy has the potential to help most people affected, including some with late-stage disease.
The gene therapy uses a manmade adeno-associated virus, or AAV, to penetrate rods and cones with healthy copies of the RPGR gene. Researchers believe a single treatment, which is contained in a tiny drop of liquid injected underneath the retina, will last years. Dr. William Hauswirth of the University of Florida developed the AAV, which is similar to the virus he is providing for the LCA trials.
The other members of the XLRP gene therapy team are Drs. Artur Cideciyan and Samuel Jacobson, of the University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Al Lewin, of the University of Florida. All of the team's members are investigators for the LCA gene therapy effort as well.
Drs. Beltran and Aguirre are performing additional studies of XLRP gene therapy in canines to confirm which promoter — the switch that activates the gene — will work best in humans. They are also evaluating the treatment in older animals and determining which areas of the retina are most amenable to the therapy.
XLRP mainly affects men. Usually, those who have the retinal degeneration are diagnosed by the age of 10 and are legally blind by 40. Like other forms of RP, XLRP initially causes loss of night and peripheral vision, followed by diminished visual acuity.
Women are usually unaffected carriers of XLRP, and they have a 50 percent chance of passing the disease down to their sons. However, some women do experience vision loss, sometimes severe, from XLRP.
"XLRP is a tough, aggressive, and complex disease," says Dr. Rose. "There's still a lot we don't know about it. But we are on the right track to overcoming it. The success of this canine study is a big step forward."
Results of the study were published online January 23, 2012, in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Exactly what it says on the tin; we share with you (in no particular order) our 5 favourite musical findings over the past 7 days.
1. Blackboxx – Estre [Forthcoming Slime Recordings]
Every track on Blackboxx's latest release for Slime was a contender for featuring in T5TotW, but 'Estre' just edged it. Blackboxx combines plucked riffs akin to that of old school garage, stabs of bass that sounds much more modern and a stylishly chopped, sensual vocal. The drums are the toughest sounding element in the track, but aren't overpowering either. 'Estre' is, quite simply, a 3 minute 7 second long slice of sexy Garage.
2. Swedger – Jungle Juice
If there's one thingy Swedger does extremely well, it's big, fuck off angry basslines. Combining elements of grime and jungle, 'Jungle Juice' is no different. Accompanying said bassline is a chopped vocal that carries most of the momentum for the first half of the track . In the second half of the tune, more energy is provided by some classic breaks. As well as the huge bassline is a couple of riffs, the steel drum being the most catchy in our opinion. This is a great track for injecting something a bit different into your sets.
3. Hybrid Theory Ft Trilla – VIP (Skepsis Remix) [Forthcoming Four40 Records]
Hybrid Theory couldn't have got a bigger list of artists to remix 'VIP', their track ft Trilla. Skepsis has come through with a heavy, surprisingly catchy, metallic bassline backed by a huge sub. There's a solid backbone to the tune thanks to the big, chunky drums (love the clap), and plenty of space for Trilla's vocal to do it's thing too. Guaranteed to go off everywhere it's played, which is almost becoming a habit for Skepsis.
4. Shudan – Amaterasu [Forthcoming White Peach Records]
This tune is too sick and it reminds us of Flava D's Wardubs; a consistent theme is carried right the way through the track, but is split into a load of different sections, each using different ideas. Listening to just the intro, you wouldn't expect this to be a grime banger, but it soon drops into combination of massive drums and an almost brassy bassline that plays in a brilliant contrast against a simple yet contagious riff. The breakdown is stunning, and really highlights the Far Eastern influence, and the second drop really ramps things up. 'Amaterasu' is one of those tracks that just doesn't get boring.
5. Poirer ft Fwonte – Pale Mal (Murder He Wrote Remix) [Forthcoming NICE UP! Records]
Murder He Wrote continues to smash it, this time showing his remix credentials, turning 'Pale Mal' into a catchy UK Funky banger. The vocal lends itself perfectly to Murder He Wrote's style, and he takes full advantage, teaming it up with the chunky, shuffling drums that are quickly becoming his trademark and a big (yet simple) bassline. This one will be bringing the summer vibes to rave whilst we wait for the weather to warm up.
